Just like 1918: right-left violence in the streets
Violence broke out as 30 people surrounded a BNP vehicle outside the Ellesmere Pub in St Helens Road in Leigh on Friday evening, said police.
Tony Ward, 48, was hit with a hammer and later treated in hospital.
One witness told BBC News: “They had hammers and they smacked the vehicle to pieces, smashed all the windows and tore off the bumper, completely decimated it.
When the economy tanks, everyone’s fed up with the political elites, and doom is on the horizon, people get serious about politics. And this causes violent right-left clashes to become more common. Luckily, this process forces people to define themselves politically, which in turn forces them to figure out what they actually think about the meta-platforms of right and left. Look for more excitement coming in England, Germany and Austria soon.
